The Fire Rings of Fornax were one of the natural wonders of the galaxy, in which the planet Fornax appeared to be encircled by five rings of intense fire. They were actually solar prominences attracted to the planet due to its close proximity to its star. Pirates were known to duel to the death within the rings, so that no combatant could escape unburned.
Some believed the rings should have been included in the list of twenty galactic wonders by the historian Vicendi in 10,000 BBY.[1]
